Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VPCEA3M1E/G owners come to us for one reason: the photos, documents and emails still on the drive. Even if the laptop won't start, the drive can usually be read on our bench, and we copy everything to a USB stick, external drive or your new computer.
No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio VPCEA3M1E/G shows no lights at all, the fault is often a failed component on the motherboard rather than the whole board. We trace power faults at component level, which can save a laptop that would otherwise be scrapped.
Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio VPCEA3M1E/G is replacing its spinning hard drive with a solid-state drive. Start-up and everyday tasks become several times faster, the laptop runs cooler and quieter, and we copy your existing system and files across so nothing is lost.
Is it worth repairing?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio VPCEA3M1E/G are no longer made. We use quality compatible or reclaimed parts, and we'll tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it before you spend anything.
